In Indo-Caribbean and Indian Ocean communities (Guyana, Trinidad, Suriname, Mauritius, Fiji), the spelling Shivanie became common under English and French orthography. Principal variants include Shivani (standard), Sivani (South Indian transliteration), Shivanee/Shivaniee, and less often Shevani or Shyvani; all keep the same meaning. The name remains popular in contemporary India and diaspora communities, aided by literary and media use of Shivani as a feminine given name.
